Im looking at two cards for my new build the ATI HD 2600xt 256mb GDDR4($118) and the NVIDIA BFG 8600GT 256mb GDDR3($150) wich one has the better perfomance in both DX9 and DX10 and would it be worth having two of them, or just one ATI HD3870 512mb GDDR4 ($250) and thanks for the info. |

I'd just go with a single HD3870. Less headaches than running CF or SLi. |

If you're willing to spend $250.. I would tend to say get an 8800GT for a little bit more if you can. Otherwise I'd go with the HD3850 as well. |

What kind of games are you planning to play? I'm not trying to be brash but you don't buy the 2600XT/8600GT because you want to play the best games at a good resolution. HD3850 or 8800GT is the bare minimum to play games from 2008. |

Ok a finaly choice then the HD3870 512MB GDDR4 775/2250($247) or the 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 600/1800($278) I will be playing Crysis, COD4, NFSPRO, DIRT, on this system. |

The GT is benching between 10 & 20% better results than the 3870, hence the price difference you listed is on par. I've got a 3870 on order with the hopes that newer bios versions will close the performance gap. |
